Brentwood Golf Course, located in Jacksonville, Florida, is owned and operated by The First Tee of N As the city of Jacksonville grew following the Civil War, new towns and neighborhoods developed around the Downtown area such as LaVilla, Oakland, East Jacksonville, Fairfield, Springfield, Riverside, and Brooklyn. By 1900, Jacksonville was the largest city in Florida in terms of population, which had reached 28,430.

Starting in the LaVilla area west of Downtown at noon on May 3, 1901, the fire destroyed (within an eight-hour period) over 2,300 buildings located on 148 city blocks causing an estimated $15 million in property damage. Although only seven people lost their lives as a result of the fire, 8,677 people were left homeless.
